Good quote. A bit similar to C.S. Lewis – “A children’s story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children’s story in the slightest.â€
P.S I couldn’t see a link to add a review…
No links?
No linky area?
Madeleine L’Engle had words on this topic as well. As a writer, she said that she wrote the book that wanted to be, and if it was too difficult for adults, she wrote it for children.
